I'm a bit confused why nobody suggested cryptocurrency mining? not feasible?

It's not permitted under any of the major cloud's ToS.

The big cloud providers attempt to detect and stop crypto mining. I'm not sure if there are ways around it, but if so, they probably involve mining incredibly inefficiently.

Personally I would look into standing up one of the popular AI models like stable diffusion and running a paid service on it.

I think this was a lot of people's first thought as well, but maybe we can brainstorm some other uses that provide a more direct benefit to persons in need, dare I say to society.
